how else would you do variable-precision in the standard library?
Maybe the mistake was in thinking that we need variable precision at all. If the goal of Decimal was to provide arithmetic that "works like your calculator", well, most calculators have a fixed precision of 10 or so digits, which seems to be fine for most things. So why *do* we have variable precision in Decimal? -- Greg _______________________________________________ Python-ideas mailing list -- python-ideas@python.org To unsubscribe send an email to python-ideas-le...@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman3/lists/python-ideas.python.org/ Message archived at https://mail.python.org/archives/list/python-ideas@python.org/message/OECXPUSG2SD3YEVEQ4OXCP7NODOYJ3XR/ Code of Conduct: http://python.org/psf/codeofconduct/
